id

The template ID of the gameobject. See gameobject_template.entry

map

The map ID where this object is spawned. See Maps.dbc

spawnMask

Controls under which difficulties the object is spawned.

Just like flags you can add them as you wish so 3 would be: Spawned in 10/25 man normal versions of maps (pre 3.2 all maps)

Value	Comment
0	Not spawned
1	Spawned only in 10-man-normal versions of maps (includes maps without a heroic mode)
2	Spawned only in 25-man-normal versions of maps (or heroics pre 3.2)
4	Spawned only in 10-man heroic versions of maps
8	Spawned only in 25-man-heroic versions of maps
15	Spawned in all versions of maps

For 6.x read spawnmask 6.x

phaseMask

This is a bitmask field that describes all the phases that this gameobject will appear in. Aura 261 determines the phase you can see. For example, if you had this aura http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=55782, you would be able to see gameobjects in phase 2. If you wanted the gameobject to be visible in both phase 1 and phase 2, you would set the phaseMask to 3.

position_x

The X position.

position_y

The Y position.

position_z

The Z position.

orientation

The orientation. (North = 0, South = 3.14159)

rotation0

rotation1

rotation2

rotation3

spawntimesecs

Time in seconds for this object to respawn.

Using a negative value will result in the object starting out by being "despawned" until a script will spawn it. It will then despawn after the amount of time specified here has passed.

animprogress

Not really known what this is used for at this time. However, always set it to 100 for chests.

state

For chests or doors.

1 = closed
0 = open
